This is due to a number of factors: insular condition providing barriers to faunal and floral dispersal, isolated high mountain areas promoting high levels of endemism as a result of geographic isolation, tropical rainforests providing equable climatic conditions year-round, and the unique geological origin of islands. The paper deals with species of seed-bearing and non-seed-bearing flowering plants, freshwater and top carnivorous fish, amphibians and reptiles, birds, and terrestrial and marine mammals. The main topics discussed are conservation status at the species level, values and uses of biodiversity, threatened and endangered species, and recommendations on their conservation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keywords<\/h5>\n\n\n<div class=\"taxonomy-post_tag wp-block-post-terms\"><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=biodiversity\" rel=\"tag\">biodiversity<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=conservation\" rel=\"tag\">conservation<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=endangered-species\" rel=\"tag\">endangered species<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=endemism\" rel=\"tag\">endemism<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\"  class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/TNP-2006-28-2_1_Philippine-Biodiversity-Roles-Uses-Conservation.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:1090px\" aria-label=\"Embed of TNP 2006 (28, 2)_1_Philippine Biodiversity Roles Uses Conservation.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-30185af2-1bb9-44c7-8f9a-41ced3c98fa4\" href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/TNP-2006-28-2_1_Philippine-Biodiversity-Roles-Uses-Conservation.pdf\">TNP 2006 (28, 2)_1_Philippine Biodiversity Roles Uses Conservation<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/TNP-2006-28-2_1_Philippine-Biodiversity-Roles-Uses-Conservation.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-30185af2-1bb9-44c7-8f9a-41ced3c98fa4\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Angel C.
